ALOK (they/them) is an internationally acclaimed writer, performer, and public speaker.

I need your help. Right wing and trans exclusionary media spread lies about trans and non-binary people to delegitimize our existence and justify harassment against us. This slander continues uninterrupted because it’s profitable. Since the majority of news shared on social media is anti-trans and factually incorrect I want to get something straight.

I never believed someone like me could be taken seriously as a model and because of this, didn't go to any castings until I finally found the confidence to do so in 2019. I'm a nonbinary person that leans more heavily towards masculinity, yes, but I also embrace my femininity and attracted to feminine styles of expression.

Pidgeon Pagonis, M.A. Gender Studies has slowly, oftentimes not so quietly risen to visibility as an activist on behalf of intersex people. Whether advancing intersex advocacy as the co-founder of the Intersex Justice Project (IJP), producing informational videos that go viral on Buzzfeed, creating art that centers intersex voices, appearing on the cover of National Geographic “Gender Revolution” special issue or being honored as a LGBT Champion of Change in 2015 by the Obama White House, Pidgeon has staked out a place at the fore of debates on intersexuality and otherness.

“Pidgeon Pagonis is a wonderful speaker weaving between critical theory, gender studies, queer theory and personal experiences to captivate audiences and prompt real debate. Pidgeon’s incredible generosity with the audience and prompts to collective discussion led to an important and memorable evening.” — Georgina Jackson, Director of Exhibitions & Publications at Mercer Union

From LGBTQ Nation;

Col and Ari — an engaged, non-binary, transgender lesbian couple in their mid-20s — have used their social media to share their passions — like traveling, selling “pre-loved” fashions, and decorating their new home. But their followers know that they’re not just sharing their hobbies, they’re also sharing intimate details of their own gender journeys, including their use of hormone therapy, the discomfort they’ve felt in varying their gender presentation, and Ari’s top surgery.

“Our #1 goal behind this account is to normalize queer joy,” the couple wrote on their Instagram. “We don’t often see ourselves depicted in popular culture, so we decided to be the representation we ourselves craved.”

Stephanie Luciana Peloza, better known by her stage name Stef Sanjati, is a Canadian video game streamer and former video blogger and YouTube personality.

I started this channel when I was very, very young: still a teenager. Upon writing this, I am 25 years old. I have learned a lot and hindsight is 20/20. I still advocate for trans people, but I no longer produce content around social justice, transness, fashion, or beauty. I have gotten in touch with my true interests after digging through years of conditioning and I am much happier and healthier than I was at any point on this channel.
